Introduction
Rice is an indispensable staple food for half of the world’s population In countries where rice is used as staple food, the per capita consumption is very high ranging from 62 to 190 kg/year (Kaiyang et al., 2008) It has the second largest production after wheat with over 503 million tonnes recorded in 2013 While the demand for rice is rising up steadily
with steep increase in human population, the land area available for rice production is shrinking due to rapid urbanization and changing life style New rice cultivars that combine high yield potential, resistance to both biotic and abiotic stress and good grain quality are urgently needed to meet future consumer demands

3888 Genetic diversity represents the heritable variation within and between populations of organisms The success of plant breeding depends on the availability of genetic variation, knowledge about desired traits, and efficient selection strategies that make it possible to exploit existing genetic resource The pool of genetic variation within an inter-mating population is the basis for selection as well as for plant improvement
Before exploiting a population for trait improvement, it is necessary to understand the magnitude of variability in the population which is fundamental for genetic improvement in all crop species To develop segregating population, genetic distance estimates form the basis for selecting parental combinations with sufficient genetic diversity and for classifying germplasm into heterotic groups for hybrid crop breeding Population Grouping can be based on geographical origin, agro-morphological traits, pedigree information, or molecular marker data (Liakat Ali et al., 2011)
Genetic distance estimates for population grouping can be estimated by different methods as it is crucial to understand the usable variability existing in the population panel One of the approaches is to apply multivariate analysis Cluster analysis can group cultivars and meaningful information of genetic distance between genotypes and clusters can be obtained Genotypically distant parents are able to produce higher heterosis (Mian, 1989; Ghaderi et al., 1979) It is assumed that the maximum amount of heterosis is manifested in cross combination involving genotypes from the most divergent cluster (Firoz et al., 2008)
Statistical method of classification is usually by multivariate methods as it has extensive use in summarizing and describing the inherent variation among crop genotypes
Multivariate statistical tools include principal component analysis (PCA), Cluster analysis and discriminate analysis (Oyelola, 2004) Principal component analysis (PCA) can be used to uncover similarities between variable and classify the cases (genotypes), while cluster analysis on the other hand is concerned with classifying previously unclassified materials (Kaufman and Rouseeuw, 2009) Canonical discriminant analyses were used to determine the relative contribution and linear associations among the traits
It can separate among-population effects from within population effects by maximizing discrimination among populations when tested against the variation within populations (Riggs, 1973; Tai, 1989)
Multivariate analysis has been used in various crops i.e., Rice (Sanni et al., 2012, Chakravorthy et al., 2013), soybean (Bhawana Sharma and Brijvirsingh, 2012), coconut (Odewale et al., 2012), safflower, sorghum and oil palm to study the pattern of variation The study aimed to determine level of germplasm variation and identify and classify variation for grouping the accessions by taking into account several characteristics and relationship between them
Materials and Methods Experimental material

3889 Colombia, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, Uruguay, Venezuela and United States and 46 varieties and improved genotypes from different states of India constitute the population panel of 192 genotypes For easy identification and retrieval, each accession was named as RG to RG 192
Experimental site
A set of 192 genotypes were grown in Paddy Breeding Station, Department of Rice, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, India during Rabi 2013 This area is situated at latitude of 11ºN and longitude of 77 ºE with clayey soil of pH 7.8
Methods
One hundred and ninety two genotypes were transplanted 21 days after sowing as two seedlings per hill in randomized complete block design with a spacing of 20 X 20 cm Each plot per accession consisted of four rows each 0.8 by 3.6 m long at a distance of 40 cm between the plots Normal cultural practices
were followed as per standard
recommendation
Twelve quantitative characters were measured according to methods in the descriptors for rice O sativa (IRRI, 1980) Variables considered in the descriptive and multivariate analyses were morphological (plant height, leaf length, number of productive tillers, panicle length, number of filled grains, spikelet fertility), phenological (days to 50% flowering and days to harvest maturity from the day of seeding), and grain traits (grain length, grain width, grain length width ratio, and single plant yield)
Statistical analysis
The observations recorded on 12 traits were statistically analyzed in SPSS16.0 to cluster
the genotypes based on genetic similarity Unweighted pair group method of average linkage (UPGMA) constructed by SPSS16.0 was used to classify the accessions into clusters The PCA analysis reduces the dimensions of a multivariate data to a few principal axes, generates an Eigen vector for each axis and produces component scores for the characters (Sneath and Sokal, 1973; Ariyo and Odulaja, 1991) Canonical discriminate analysis measure the axis along which variation between entries were maximum (Rezai and Frey, 1990; Ariyo, 1993)
Results and Discussion
The maximum, minimum, sum, mean, standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) for the measured traits are presented in table The largest variation was observed for number of productive tillers with CV of 28.03 % followed by number of filled grains per panicle (CV= 27), single plant yield (23.19), leaf length (23.02), grain length width ratio (22.16) Days to maturity has shown the least variation with the CV of 9.74%
The genotype RG1 has taken the longest days for flowering as well as maturity The taller genotype is RG20 whereas RG111 has short stature RG183 has more number of productive tillers but RG164 has higher single plant yield
Spikelet fertility ranges from 95.7% in RG131 to 54.2 in RG25 The accession with longest grain was RG57 (10.5) and largest grain width in RG160 (3.7) which is a bold grain type The slim grain type with lesser grain width was RG95 (1.5) and shortest grain was RG111 (5.8)
Cluster analysis

3890 Landraces has diffused across the different clusters 72 % of the landraces (62 landraces) has amalgamated in cluster Cluster 1,3,4,5 and has the remaining landraces Cluster has two landraces RG1 (Mapillai samba) and RG 106 (Katta samba) Cluster has one landrace RG164 (Thillainayagam) Cluster has landraces (RG4, RG12, RG33, RG42, RG50, RG110andRG120) Nine landraces (RG32, RG73, RG97, RG109, RG155, RG163, RG168, RG179 and RG192) spread across cluster Cluster has three landraces (RG24, RG25 and RG44)
The population panel has 61 exotic genotypes which has been clustered in group (22 genotypes), group 4(29 genotypes) and each genotypes in cluster and This panel also has 47 improved genotypes and varieties from different states of India Majority of the improved genotypes and varieties (51%) has clustered in group Remaining improved genotypes and varieties has dispersed in cluster (13 genotypes), cluster 3(8 genotypes), cluster 5(1genotype) and cluster (1 genotype)
Principal component analysis
Principal component analysis has shown the genetic diversity of the population panel The cumulative variance of 80.56% by the first five axes with Eigen value of > 1.0 (Figure and 2) indicates that the identified traits within the axes exhibited great influence on the phenotype of population panel (Table and 4)
The different morphological traits contribute for total variation calculated for each component For Component which has the contribution of Days to 50% flowering (loadings -0.87), leaf length (0.78), plant height (0.765), panicle length (0.637), days to maturity (0.853) and number of filled grains (0.352) for 28.46 % of the total variability
For component 2, grain width (0.886) and grain length width ratio (0.951) has contributed 16.8 % of total variability Similarly spikelet fertility (0.771) and single plant yield (0.542), grain length (0.81), number of productive tillers (0.846) has contributed for the total variation of 14.4%, 11.7% and 9.3% from component 3, component and component respectively Canonical Discriminant analysis
Canonical discriminant analysis
simultaneously examines the differences in the morphological variables and indicates the relative contribution of each variable to accession discrimination (Vaylay and van Santen, 2002)
Quantitative variables were considered as independent and the clusters identified by cluster analysis as dependent variables The first four Discriminant functions were statistically significant according to the chi-square test at a probability of 0.01 Proper values and the distribution of their variances indicated that the first two functions accounted for more than 86% of total variance Wilks’ lambda coefficients for these two functions were precisely the lowest, indicating an almost perfect discrimination regarding the remaining functions The significant (p< 0.001) canonical correlation between the accessions and the first canonical variate (canonical correlation = 0.851) and second canonical variate (canonical correlation = 0.748) indicates that the canonical variates can explain the differentiation of the accessions
(5)Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2017) 6(11): 3887-3901
3891 canonical Discriminant function is dominated by plant height, days to 50% flowering and days to maturity (Table 5) Number of filled grains per panicle, panicle length spikelet fertility and grain length contribute for second canonical Discriminant function It is therefore evident in the canonical discrimination that the composition of the accessions differs chiefly in days to 50% flowering, maturity, grain characters, panicle
length and plant height Centroids are discriminant score for each group when the variable means (rather than individual values for each case) are entered into the function The Proximity of group centroids indicates the errors in classification The distance between group centroids for different clusters is far away which indicates the precision of classification level (Figure 3)
